NO CHANGE IN 1888.
Way the People Will BE AverSe to q
Political Change Next Year.

Why the People Will BE Averse to n
Political Change Next Year.
1t is curious illustration of Amer
lean politics and at the same time a
significant tribute to the conservative
spirit of the Democracy that the most
potent argument three years ago in
favor of keeping the Republican party
in power is becoming one of the most
potent arguments in favor of the con-
tinued ascendancy of its antagonist.
When the Republican organs and lead
ers had exhausted every other reason
for making Mr.. Blaine President in
1884, they crowned the discussion with
this supreme consideration: that it
would be unwise and hazardous to
make a change. Republication was
safe; it had been in power for six
quadrennial terms, and the country
knew what it was. The Democratic
party had been out of power SO long
that it had forgotten how to govern;
it was raw, clumsy, ignorant, mex
peTienced and somewhat revolution
ary-and it would be unsafe to intrust
the finances, the revenues, the army
and navy and the Indian and public
lands bureaus to such a party. Let
the Government remain in the hands
of those who have administered it so
well.
Who would have thought that in less
than three years this same considera-
ton would become a bulwark of the
party it was employed against and be
chief reason for keeping the
party that employed it out of
poweri And yet the Republican or
gans themselves >are recognizing the
cOntented condition of the public mind
under the Democratic Administration
as the most formidable impediment in
their way in the next contest The
very papers that vainly attempted 20
make the country believe it would be
hazardous and uHwise to make change
In 1884, are forced to confess that the

THE SALARY QUESTION.

Why . Man Should Earn More Than the
Pay He Actually Receives.
Every thinker knows that the man
who would succeed must do more work
than he gets paid for, in every profess
sion and trade. We take it for granted
that the man who will do only 500
worth of work a week because his sal
airy is but $50. will never get more
than $40 a week, for the simple reason
that he has never shown his employer
that he is worth more. We figure x
that an employe who means to succeed
has to do from 10 to 20 per cent. more
work than he gets actually paid for.
This he has to do until he reaches a
certain point, and having reached that
point he will find that by as much as
his income has increased by so much
has the demand for amount and in
tensity of his labor diminished. To
put this theory into figures, we will say
that man receiving 500 week should
do $50 worth of work; a man receiving
$50 should do $40 worth of work, and
so on until, say the salary reaches $75,
and then the laborer can give himself
somewhat of rest-that is to say,
about $50 worth of work will satisfy
his employer. Labor brings its market
value. and is seldom overpaid, and
often underpaid. 1t is fine experience
the know how" that brings the
moneY.-PtiLQdelDlt Ledger.

country believes Il would be hazardOua
and unwise to make change in 1855
One of these papers admits with uncon-
cealed chagrin that ''there are molti-
tudes of timid. easy-going people who
are already saying that Cleveland is
good enough President for them;" and
another says sit must be admitted that
there are not few Republicans who
take but little interest in politics, and
who express mild approval of the Demo
cratic President"
This contentedness of the public
mind under Democratic regime will
be an important element in the con-
test of next year. 1t is feeling of sat
isfaction almost universal, and Il is
deepened by the contemplation of the
stability. method and public order that
mark the Democratic Administrations
so different from the disorder, deranges
ment and ruin which the Republican
organs falsely predicted. 1t is an inert
force hard to overcome. When even
large bodies of Republicans declare
that MIR. Cleveland is good enough.
President for them" it shows that
the authority OF Republicanism is
broken. and the Democracy is in power
as long as it behaves itself well. The
people desired a change. three. years
ago, but they are averse to change
now.-St. Louis Republican.

''Yes'm; but he's Dead" said Barty.
Miss Polyphemia put her handker-
chief to her eyes; there was something
that felt like a tear in a corner of one
OF them. The truth was that Miss
Polyphemia had once been engaged to
marry Bartlett Pilkins. but she was
considerably older than he. and people
had told her that he only wanted the
property that her father had left her,
and she had dismissed him. Afterward
she had been a little sorry, although he
had never amounted to much" ac-
cording to Plumleyville report, and his
family had come back to Plumleyvile
from the West-where he had gone
when fortune went against him at
home-very poor.
"Your mother has hard time to get
along, don't she?'' asked Miss Poly
phemia.
"Yes'm: but she won't when I get
little bigger" said Barty, conf

with Lord George-who certainly will
come home if he is alive-and some
day, if 1 am not disappointed in you, /

Barty wanted to turn a somersault,
and he wanted to throw his arms
around Miss Polyphemia's neck, but
he thought it more prudent to restrain
himself.

HOMEMADE FERTILIZERS.

Mr.. W. J. Cham Derlain, President
of the Iowa Agricultural College,
stated in an article In the Country
Gentleman some time ago that MIR.
I. B. Terry, of Ohio, made from fif-
ty head of cattle in five months a
munure pile of 600 tons, worth 81
GOA, at cost of S664 for ashes. muck,
etc. With the aid of such fertilizers
Mr.. Terry brought his little farm of
30 acres from state of extreme pow
erty to one of such high fertility that
phosphates failed to show any bene-
fit; how, by those same agencies, he
raised crops of from 80 to 10 bushels
OF potatoes TO the acre enabling him
to lift large indebtedness from the
farm, build substantial improvements
and buy all needed farm machinery;
how the greatest triumph of all for
the manure the ground became so
stored with fertility, needing only
clover end tillege to develop, that
even the owner and improver began
to place tillage as first and manure
as secondary. In one of the papers
Mr.. Terry carefully estimates the cost
OF making water tight stables, wheel
ing the manure from thence to the
yard together with hauling it from
there and building the compost heap.
He calculates it to be less. than 500
per year, which is certainly a small
amount to pay for so valuable re-
suit. Even if only one-half of the
estimated value is returned to the
crops of the rotation, and if half of
that value would have been saved
under common management, $500
returned tor 500 expended is still a
very good investment.

LABOR.sAyISG IMPLEMENTS.


For years past we have been urg-
ing Southern farmers to use labor
saving Implements more extensively.
We have persisfently emphasized the
great saving of labor from the use
of the smoothing harrow in the early
stages of cultivation. This thing
grows upon US. Each successive
year makes US realize its value more
and more. And we are not alone in
this matter. See what an Ohio farm
er says about it. Some one who has
not gotten out of the old ruts, it
seems, had tackled him as trying to
bolster up implement manufactures.
For one we say let US encourage
them, stimulate their inventive pow
ers to the last degree. Don't buy
rashly and foolishly, but don't pooh
pooh every new thing.
The main reason | have heard Civ
en- in favor of hill planting was that
by having it one could cultivate both
ways he could keep the weeds down
with less hard hoeing. Well, with
the rough fields and poor tools OF the
past this was true. But for several
years past we have not used hoe
at all on our drills, except at the
ends where turning around was done
and we have had as clean a crop as
we ever did when we hoed the pota-
toes two or three times. With
straight rows and the smoothing har-
row, and the best cultivators and
horse hoes, and snap enough to do
the narrowing and cultivating at the
right time land this is the all import
ant thing-the rock on which many
run ashore)-drills can be kept Just
as clean as hills, and the hoe left
hanging in the Toulouse.

things for the machine men as though
it was something that was wrong.
Let us see. | used to have to hunt
up extra help to plant my potatoes,
and pay out considerable money.
put that money in my pocket now,
and ride on the planter and do il
myself alone. | have paid $40 or
$50 to man to hoe for me. Three
or four days work with the harrow at
lust the right time enables me to put
that money in my pocket also.
Last fall | did the digging say $50

independence and big feeling, when
| was sitting quietly and doing the
work of fifteen men with bent backs
and strained muscles. With my 81
seeder | can slip out and sow before
breakfast as much seed as "a hired
man would sow in all day, and do il
perfectly. With my disc harrow
can prepare potato stubble for wheat
in the best possible manner, and al
tar less cost than if the pillow anC
